But the questions in part 1 and 2 are more to do with your personal experiences, whereas part 3 is about more general topics, so you should avoid just discussing yourself too much in this part. So you should focus on speaking more generally about the topics.

But that said, it would still be ok to support your general opinions and comments with some examples from your personal experience if they help to explain your point.

Again, with your question about expanding on your answers, it's really not possible to comment on this without having been there.

Couldn't answer questions in part 3

Today was my IELTS speaking test. I always had one problem that I used to get stuck in Part 3 of speaking and same happened in test today. Part 1 and 2 really went well without any mistake.

But in part 3, I was not able to think answer because it was an specific question having specific answer but I failed to remember. She asked me nearly 4-6 questions in part 3 but I was able to answer only 3 correctly and for 2 or 3 questions I was really struggling.

What could be my score? Can I get 6? Because minimum score is 6 for masters study.

Comments for Couldn't answer questions in part 3

It's really not possible to judge how your score could have been affected.

Remember you are marked for your performance over the whole test, not just one part separately.

You must have said something in part 3 even if it wasn't great, and if you did very well in parts 1 and 2 it's still possible to get 6. If it was very bad though it is possible it pulled your score down to below 6.
